Baldwin Filters BT8316-MPG Spin-on Transmission Filter

Product Description

The BALDWIN FILTERS BT8316-MPG is a spin-on transmission filter designed to remove contaminants from automatic transmission fluid in automotive and light-duty commercial applications. With an outside diameter of 3.69 inches and an overall length of 5.56 inches, this filter installs on a 1-1/2 inch threaded port and includes an O-ring for a reliable seal. It is a direct-replacement spin-on unit, making service straightforward for fleet technicians, transmission specialists, and experienced DIYers performing scheduled transmission maintenance.

This filter is suited for transmission service on passenger vehicles and light commercial equipment where a spin-on style filter is specified. The included O-ring eliminates the need to source a separate seal, reducing parts count at the bench.

Installation Notes

Transmission filter service should be performed by a qualified technician following the vehicle or equipment manufacturer's service interval guidelines. Drain or recover transmission fluid before removal to avoid spills, and ensure the transmission is depressurized before loosening the filter. Hand-tighten the spin-on filter until the O-ring contacts the seating surface, then follow the manufacturer's final torque procedure. Refill with the correct transmission fluid type and volume, and verify for leaks after a short operational cycle.
